"Life. We discussed life," Trump told a gaggle of reporters camped out in the lobby of the building where the future president has been conducting interviews and hosting meeting with future cabinet members.

"This is a good man," Trump said pointing to a blond West -- making his highest profile appearance since emerging from emergency care a week ago.

"We've been friends for a long time," Trump continued.

Reporters peppered the outspoken West with questions about his rumored plans of running for office in 2020.

"I just want to take a picture right now," West said.

West entered the building shortly after 9 a.m. with a large entourage. He was not accompanied by wife Kim Kardashian West.

The 39-year-old recently spent over a week in Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles for stress and exhaustion. Days before his hospitalization, he abruptly canceled his U.S. concert tour.

Trump also was shown in a video for West's single "Famous," released last year. It also featured Rihanna, former President George W. Bush, Anna Wintour and Bill Cosby.
